Obsemations. — A very fine and interesting collection, well 

 displayed, a great amount of information being given as to 

 st3cks, &c., on the cards. Some examples of Huyshe's 

 Victoria were remarkable for their high colouring. The finest 

 examples exhibited were stated to have been grown on walls, 

 those of Doyenne du Cornice, Beurre Bachelier, Bishop's Thumb, 

 Beurre Diel, Duchesse d'Angouleme, and Pitmaston Duchess, 

 from wall trees on the Pear, were specially good ; some 

 fine examples of Pitmaston Duchess, from a standard, were 

 noted. Doyenne du Comice and Knight's Monarch, from the 

 Quince, were remarkably good.
